  • "After 14 minutes Waddle drifted from left wing to right before swerving past two defenders to shoot through a gap obligingly left by Yasar, at the near post." Chris Waddle1st of 6 goals. Right-footed from 12 yards., 15' 14:26

Right-footed from 3 yards., 35' 34:58

    A few moments (22:30) later Robson chips the keeper but Hateley is ruled offside even though he hadn't played the ball and wasn't interferring with play.
